Published in Abu Zahrim Yaser, Poonam Khullar, A. K. Haghi, Green Materials and Environmental Chemistry, 2021
Nanomechanics is a branch of nanoscience studying fundamental mechanical (elastic, thermal, and kinetic) properties of physical and engineering systems at the nanometer scale. Technological vision and scientific motivation, the scientific candor and the futuristic vision of mechanics and mechanical engineering will transform the entire scientific genre and civilization. Nanomechanics have emerged on the crossroads of classical mechanics, solid-state physics, statistical mechanics, material science, composite science and quantum physics and quantum chemistry. Today nanomechanics provides a strong foundation of nanotechnology. The vast challenges of science and engineering need to be reframed globally as regards application of nanotechnology and nanomechanics in human society. Nanomechanics is a branch of nanoscience which deals with the study of and applications of fundamental mechanical properties of physical and engineering systems at the veritable nanoscale such as elastic, thermal, and kinetic material properties. Often nanomechanics are regarded as a branch of nanotechnology, i.e., an applied area with a deep focus on the mechanical properties of engineered nanostructures and nanosystems (systems with nanoscale components of importance). Examples of the latter include nanoparticles (NPs), nanopowders, nanowires, nanorods, nanoribbons, nanotubes, including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs), nanoshells, nanomembranes, nanocoatings, nanocomposite/nanostructured materials, nanomotors, etc. Validation of science and engineering in the field of nanotechnology is opening new doors of innovation and instinct in human scientific progress in years to come [11–14, 25–27].

Nanotechnology has attracted the attention of many scientists and engineers, but what is the reason for scientists’ interest in nanoscience? Often, the behavior of a material on small scale is very different from the behavior of the same material on macro scale, for this reason, many efforts have been made and are being made to understand the properties of materials in small dimensions. Nanomechanics is a branch of nanoscience that studies the physical-mechanical properties of physical systems such as tensile (elasticity), thermal and kinetic properties at small scales. As a field of nanoscience, nanomechanics provides the scientific basis for nanotechnology. Some of the well-established nanomechanical fields are nanotribology, micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), nanobiotechnology, and nanofluids.
